The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

At that time, he felt like he was going to die.

"It doesn't matter. Even if I beat you to a pulp, I'm confident I can heal you."

Hongzhi explained casually, and upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, who originally wanted to complain as well, immediately chose to shut up.

Kakashi's expression was somewhat speechless; it's likely that only a top-tier medical ninja like him would be qualified to say such a thing.

"Of course, medical ninjutsu isn't a panacea. If you die directly, even I can't help you. But in other situations, given enough time, I can bring you back to life..."

As Hongzhi continued speaking, he prepared to leave. His shadow clones in the Land of Waves were waiting to see the results.

After all, he had been using Flying Thunder God for a whole day, so he should have gained a lot of proficiency. Hongzhi was quite looking forward to accumulating proficiency with Flying Thunder God.

Will you continue to work with us on missions?

Seeing that Hiroji was about to leave, Haruno Sakura asked curiously, because their relationship had improved a lot during that period of training.

At least that's what Haruno Sakura thinks, while Hiroji still dislikes her somewhat, but he still has to maintain the proper attitude.

"It's probably not going to happen. The latest research is only halfway done, and I plan to get it done as soon as possible."

Hongzhi answered the question tactfully, and then said goodbye to Class 7 directly.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

After receiving this answer, Sakura Haruno subconsciously looked at Kakashi beside her, but Kakashi turned his head away.

Hiroji's appearance sparked Sakura Haruno's strong interest in medical ninjutsu. She no longer needed Kakashi's recommendation; she wanted to become a medical ninja on her own.

Kakashi was originally quite happy to see this scene. Sakura Haruno and Hiroji's relationship had improved, and if they continued to follow, he could persuade them from the side.

It was still quite possible for Sakura Haruno to learn medical ninjutsu from Hiroji, but that was the case in the past.

Kakashi is now amazed by Hongzhi's medical ninjutsu. Such a talented medical ninja is someone that even the Hokage would have to take seriously at this age.

As for taking on disciples, it's basically impossible if Hongzhi isn't willing. Besides, given Hongzhi's age, the Hokage probably hopes he'll focus his energy on researching medical ninjutsu.

This means that for Sakura Haruno to become an apprentice is to go from an easy path to a hellish one.

"Where does Senior Hongzhi's medical ninjutsu rank in the entire ninja world?!"

When the atmosphere became a little awkward, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly asked this question. He was quite curious about it, after all, he was a strong-willed kid.

"Konoha originally had the strongest medical ninjutsu, and Konoha's strongest medical ninja was Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. As for the medical ninjutsu and regeneration techniques that Hongzhi has shown before, if we say that he is the number one ninja, he should be considered to have earned the title."

Kakashi thought for a moment, then spoke solemnly. He wasn't just making things up; this was his true thought.

Given Hiroji's performance, even Lady Tsunade would probably have to admire him.

"Number One in the Ninja World!"

Naruto was clearly shocked by this title. The seemingly humble senior, Hiroji, was actually the strongest medical ninja!

Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

"Alright, what you need to do now is focus on your training and improve as much as possible during missions. Don't worry about anything else for now!"

Seeing the three's reaction, Kakashi could only offer a word of comfort. Although the trio could be considered geniuses, they were still several levels below Hiroji.

"Yes!"

The three nodded, and then Class 7 was disbanded.

[Flying Thunder God: Limit Break +5 (10%) Stability +5]

Meanwhile, Hiroji, who had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the Land of Waves, looked at the information that appeared before him and felt somewhat bewildered.

Although Hongzhi already knew about the stable attributes, he was still somewhat surprised to see the +5 limit break.

Putting everything else aside, it seems that the mastery of Flying Thunder God Technique stacks up faster than other ninjutsu. After thinking about it carefully, Hongzhi understood the problem.

The speed of using Flying Thunder God Technique is so fast that it can move several times in a second, which means that Shadow Clones can use Flying Thunder God Technique countless times in a day.

Under such circumstances, the Flying Thunder God technique would definitely accumulate proficiency the fastest, which surprised Hongzhi.

After a brief silence, Hongzhi decided to have his shadow clones use the Flying Thunder God Technique, along with the unfinished Rasengan.

This was originally the Fourth Hokage's signature move. If someone could learn it, they might be able to become Minato Namikaze and do some inconvenient things.

For example, he could create a misconception in Obito Uchiha and certain others, and the best opportunity to appear would be when Itachi Uchiha returned to the village.

In that case, the Akatsuki organization should be relatively more stable!

At the very least, if Minato Namikaze were alive when facing Konoha, Nagato probably wouldn't dare to openly charge in!

Chapter 141 From a certain perspective, I failed again.

[Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques: Limit Break +10, Realism +20, Quality +10]

[Flying Thunder God: Limit Break +10, Stability +10]

[Storm Attribute Changes: Limit Break +10, Control +10]

Inside the Land of Waves laboratory, Hiroji was examining the information before him. Four months had passed since he played games with Team 7, and the legendary Chunin Exams were drawing ever closer.

Hongzhi's strength has undergone another qualitative change. Except for the Rasengan, which was added later and did not reach the limit +10, the training plan he had previously made had been completed ahead of schedule.

The Storm Attribute Change is a skill obtained after possessing the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, a Kekkei Genkai formed by the fusion of lightning and water.

Just as Hongzhi had guessed, the maximum number of shadow clones that could be created by the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was three thousand.

If the Shadow Clone Technique were to be used at its full potential, it would take about a month to upgrade a ninjutsu from zero to +10.

During this time, Hongzhi himself was not idle and kept learning some lightning and water style ninjutsu. He didn't care about the proficiency of these ninjutsu, as long as he could learn them and use them.

Hongzhi's strength has basically reached its peak, but this is not the time to be arrogant. Hongzhi plans to split his multiple shadow clones into three waves.

The first wave of experiments involved the advanced bloodline elimination of the Storm Release fusion with the Yang attribute.

The second wave involves supplementing the remaining attribute changes, namely the changes to the three basic attributes: wind, fire, and earth.

The final wave involves another mission: leaving the Land of Waves and entering the ninja world under various aliases to search for the whereabouts of Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha.

Each of these shadow clones is paired with two reanimated ninjas to ensure absolute safety.

The level of the Impure World Reincarnation has also reached the limit +6. With more than two thousand Impure World Reincarnated individuals, such a team is still terrifying.

Of course, the Land of Waves doesn't have that many wandering ninjas, but if you include bandits and the like, they could barely make up enough.

After giving his orders, Hongzhi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Root base. Everything was normal there. Orochimaru hadn't contacted him for a long time, and Hongzhi had no idea what he was up to.

However, one thing is certain: with the Chunin Exams approaching, Orochimaru will definitely be itching to make a move.

Hongzhi has already prepared flowers to commemorate Hiruzen Sarutobi. He hopes that Orochimaru won't cause any problems, otherwise the flowers will wither completely in a few months.

The next morning.

Hongzhi slowly walked out of his house and headed straight for Konoha Hospital. His face showed neither joy nor sorrow.

This left the ANBU who had been protecting him somewhat confused, as this was the first time Hiroji had left his place of residence since his last outing with Squad 7.

Even the food was brought in by someone. Logically, whether it was success or failure, it should be directly reflected on his face, but this guy didn't seem to change at all.

'It's about time. Enough preparation has been done. The entire Hidden Leaf Village deserves a major upheaval.'

As Hongzhi walked along the road, he looked at the Konoha Hospital not far away and a slight smile appeared on his lips. A brand new ninjutsu might have a limited impact, but what if it was a guide that could directly lead to the development of bloodline limits?

Moreover, this bloodline limit is one that can directly cause a qualitative change in medical ninjas...

Hiroji wasn't sure how big the impact of this event would be, but he could imagine that the entire Hidden Leaf Village would be shaken!

"You've come!"

Inside the dean's office, Kudo Yuya looked at Hiroji with joy on her face. She knew Hiroji quite well; the fact that he had taken the initiative to come to her meant that the situation was very optimistic.

"Well... in a way, I failed again."

Hiroji stood in front of Kudo Yuya and spoke somewhat dejectedly. Upon hearing this, Kudo Yuya, who had been full of anticipation, gradually regained her composure.

Seemingly having never encountered such a situation before, or rather, not expecting such an outcome, Kudo Yuya fell silent.

This created an awkward atmosphere in the office.

Just then, Hiroji slowly took out a scroll and placed it in front of Kudo Yuya.

The dean, having regained his composure, turned his attention to the scroll spread out on the table.

At the very beginning of the scroll was a diagram of chakra transformation, which bore some resemblance to the diagram on the Palm Healing Technique scroll.

Upon seeing this, Kudo Yuuya's eyes began to light up. As the director of Konoha Hospital, if she couldn't see what was different about this picture, then she wouldn't be fit to stay in this position.

"What is this? By using a special technique to make the healing energy of the Palm Healing Technique more active, thereby enhancing its recovery ability, you've already failed?"

After understanding this part, Kudo Yuya looked at Hiroji with a smile. The very beginning of the scroll had already given Kudo Yuya a pleasant surprise.

Even if what follows is just some unrealistic nonsense, the value of this scroll is still there. Can this be considered a failure?

"My original plan was to directly use Yang-attribute chakra to complete the transformation of the Palm Healing Technique, thereby converting the Yang-attribute chakra into stronger healing energy. However, the final result was not as satisfactory as I had hoped, so I had no choice but to work on the palm healing technique itself..."

Seeing that Kudo Yuya had no intention of continuing, Hiroji spread his hands and began to slowly explain.

Upon hearing this, Kudo Yuuya turned his attention back to the scroll, carefully reading its contents, afraid of missing any details.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours passed. When the third hour ended, Kudo Yuya solemnly closed the scroll, then looked at Hiroji with a complicated expression. She seemed to want to say something, but after several attempts, she still didn't speak.

Kudo Yuya just stared at Hiroji quietly, seemingly unsure how to express the shock she felt.

The scroll is divided into five stages, the first of which is the improved Palm Healing Technique that Kudo Yuya just saw.

Kudo Yuya initially estimated that this new Palm Healing Technique formula could increase the healing ability of the Palm Healing Technique by two to three times.

Kudo Yuya had initially thought this was the biggest surprise of the day, but in the end, she discovered that this was just the beginning.

The five stages progress step by step. If one can complete them in the end, one will transcend the realm of ninjutsu and enter another field.

Do you know what it means to complete these five stages?

Taking a deep breath, Kudo Yuuya asked somewhat nervously.

"This means that the healing energy originally generated by the Palm Healing Technique has directly broken away from the scope of the Palm Healing Technique and become a manifestation of Yang-attribute chakra... just like this!"
